    The native place of Tu Fu lies at the Nanyaowan Village of Zhanjie Town, Gongyi City. Located to the south foot of Mountain Bijia, facing a wide fertile land, it is one of the eight beautiful scenic spots of the county which is named “Luokou Spring Outing”, with two green mountains standing nearby face to face and three clean rivers joining together here.
    Tu Fu (712-770 A.D.), one of the most famous poets of the Tang Dynasty, was born in a family of officials and poets in a brick cave-dwelling at the foot of Mountain Bijia where he spent his childhood. The Native Place of Tu Fu is a house with a rectangle courtyard facing south where his bronze statue, his poetry anthology, comic strips on his life and the paintings by famous artists are displayed.
    The birth place of Tu Fu is on the opposite in a brick cave-dwelling, above the gate of which hangs a tablet with inscription of “Birth Place of Tu Fu”. The former 7 meters of the brick wall was made in the Ming Dynasty while the latter 13 meters of it was rebuilt in 1955, copying the style of the former. A tablet with the inscription of “Native Place of the Poem Sage” written by Zhang Han, Governor of Luoyang in the Qing Dynasty is embedded in the outside wall facing the road. Two other steles stand nearby with inscriptions about the native place of Tu Fu, who was once the Minister of the Construction Department in the Tang Dynasty.
    The Memorial Hall of Tu Fu's Native Place, built in 1962, is a key historic reservation of He'nan Province, with the name tablet written by Guo Moruo, a great litterateur of modern China.
